Natsume
to Release Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley for PSP Later this Year

Players Must Help Villagers To
Save The Town From Destruction!

Natsume announced today that Harvest
Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley will be released for the PlayStation Portable this
April. The game will retail at an MSRP of $29.99 and is rated E for Everyone by
the ESRB.

"Harvest Moon: Hero of Valley Leaf
Valley tells a compelling story of a small town that must come together in order
to save itself from destruction, " said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of
Natsume. "How they try to save it and whether or not they're successful is all
up to the player. It's the biggest PSP Harvest Moon adventure yet!"

Leaf Valley is in trouble! The
heartless Funland corporation is going to bulldoze the town and replace it with
an amusement park unless its citizens can find a way to stop them! Players will
need to grow crops, raise animals, and mine ores and gems to help save Leaf
Valley and their family farm. Along the way, they'll earn money and develop
their skills in interactive part-time jobs, and build their relationships with
the villagers in order to gain their trust and help. With an open-ended story
with multiple endings, how players choose to save the town is up to them!
